1 Timothy 5:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ Any widow who had only one husband and is at least 60 years old should be put on your list ⌞of widows⌟. ¹⁰ People should tell about the good things she has done: raising children, being hospitable, taking care of believers’ needs, helping the suffering, or always doing good things.

¹¹ Don’t include younger widows ⌞on your list⌟. Whenever their natural desires become stronger than their devotion to Christ, they’ll want to marry.
